Passport Ultra/Mac - How to see photos TimeMachine backedup?

Using Ultra Passport 2TB for MacBook Pro running Mojave, I have made my first backup and can see various documents when checking b.u., but I can’t see or verify that my photos are backed up. Clicking on Photos in the list of b.u. items only shows the app and its size. How can I see or select photos? Will appreciate any help!

Hello Rexv,

Mac Time Machine creates Backup.backup folder to store backed up data in an external hard drive and these backed up data stored under time specified folders at which backup process starts. Here, you can easily check and view the backed up data manually.
Moreover, you may also restore the backed up data which you want to restore or view files.
